Ladies and gentlemen-- Lidstrom was a -3 today. Not good enough.

FML. Rookie goalie looks like a rookie goalie out there.

Excellent point. This kills any argument he had other than money.

Zetterberg truly is a king amongst men.

Barely a flicker!

At least Abdelkader will throw his weight around and cause havoc. Williams? He's doing s*** when he isn't scoring. Abdelkader can contribute all night without having to score a goal.

Both were solid in their own ends. Ericsson had at least two good defensive plays for every bad one. He made a couple of pokes to get pucks out of the zone during the hairier times in the game. Honestly all 6 D were good 5-on-5. 4-on-5? Now that was a retard rodeo. I'd like to see our grinders out grind their forwards, though. Doan had an almost Drake-like effect out there when he was going hit-crazy...

We've already seen that-- without Malkin Crosby couldn't even get the Pens to the playoffs.

lolololol Crosby has as much defensive responsibility as Ovechkin. The difference? Ovechkin does it better-- +45 vs +15. Stop being jealous. Ps. Who's that Malkin kid Crosby plays with on every single PP? Is he an ok player? Maybe he helps? Nah... Dude-- Carman is a massive troll. Massive.

Remember when I told you he was teh suck this year? And you said he'd be fine in the playoffs. I hate being a "I told you so" guy but I was so f***in' right about Fleury.

Sorry-- Williams' spot belongs to Abdelkader. I'd love to see May in too. If Abdelkader can't make a significant impact on Friday throw May in and give him a chance to kick some ass. The point is that Williams can suck it. He almost caused a SH goal and was teh suck.

Agreed. There was at least one point where I was shocked that Babcock didn't call a time out. And anyone who's blaming Howard tonight is a retard. He let in one softy (the 3rd goal). Big deal. He also had to face 20 shots in the 3rd period and only let one goal in that period. He gave the Wings a chance to score the equalizer. The PK failed us. Big time. And Z's line needs to crash the frigging net. I'm tired of Bertuzzi looking for the pass-- take it in and drive it home! I think the turning point was that iffy call on Shane Doan behind the net when he hit Kronwall. The team seemed to rally around him and killed that off really well.

Interesting... this author's written the perfect playoff preview-- he can use this for any playoff series in any era of hockey.

They've been trying to stop Holmstrom from doing his job for years. He still scores and he'll score again this year too. If Campbell is so concerned he can change the rule. Reminding teams that they're going to enforce existing rules is ******* retarded.

Bertuzzi will

Brilliant!

Note that Rask was a Leafs prospect that they traded for Raycroft. So if the Leafs were a well managed organization they'd still have Rask as well. Basically, Boston's future has come courtesy of the Leafs.

It's pretty laughable that he thinks his team doesn't need the Wings fans' money. I'd love to see the official Coyotes rebuttal: "Wings fans-- please buy tickets and concessions! Pay for parking! Enjoy our excellent promotions. Please, we beg you-- bring friends as well"

*sniff* I forgive you.

Interesting. Makes sense for the original 6 (only 4 made the playoffs). It's really hard to imagine with 30 teams!

Not gonna mention me here Doc?

Interesting. Well that was a fun read.

Nice! That'd be a sweet paint job for a real gun.

I was about to point out that odds are they'd be blocking the line of sight for a Coyotes fan... then I realized that those odds only apply to teams who can sell at least half their arena out to fans of the home team.

The rematch favours the losers so yeah, I can see that being a decent series. Of course I'm assuming the Wings would actually be healthy...
